I am a belly dancer by training, but have always wanted to move into the ballroom competition world. I dance salsa, bachata, and kizomba socially. I train and perform in Brazilian carnival style Samba.

I've had a couple years of ballroom and latin lessons but only got about 1/3 through American Bronze. But since October of 2007 I have been mostly concentrating on Argentine Tango. I dance mostly traditional Argentine Tango milonguero/salon style close embrace as a social dance here in Gainesville, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Miami, Sarasota and Tallahassee, Florida. I have also traveled a lot for festivals, marathons and encuentros. I went to Buenos Aires in August 2010 and danced for 12 nights, 85 different women.

We have a lot of Tango activity here in Gainesville with several teachers, practicas, regular weekly milonga, visiting teachers and workshops. I take a lot of lessons, workshops and privates and have been dancing since 2007. Since 2009 I have been 3-7 times a week/1000 hrs/yr. I go to the milonga every Saturday night and since January 16, 2011 I have been a milonga organizer, DJ and an assistant teacher. I go out dancing every weekend.

Covid-19 update: I have not danced or socialized since March 2020 when the lockdown began and am waiting until significant changes occur before going out again.

I’ve been working as a dance instructor in northern Columbus since winter 2018. I have experience in American Smooth and Rhythm as well as social Latin dancing including Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba. I'm certified through DVIDA in the core 6 dances and Bronze Smooth. I plan to complete Bronze Rhythm during late winter.

I want to compete in American Rhythm though I'm also interested in learning the International Dances as well.

I love to dance but I don't have a partner at the moment and I'd love to go dancing or even competition dancing. My dance teacher believes I'm a natural and can pick up any style of dance fast or slow no matter the type I love it all!

I'm not sure about those skill level descriptors. I'm a good dancer. Not a pro, but not a beginner. I'm not at my best now of course because of lack of practice. I'm interested in any type of dancing. Most of the boxes I checked above are dances I know how to do, but some I checked just because they look interesting and I wouldn't mind learning them. I mostly do line dancing now - don't have to worry about finding a partner, just find my friends. I line dance twice a week most weeks. But I love to partner dance when I can find a partner - which is rare. I've always wanted to have a dedicated partner with whom I can work and get better as a couple. I feel I have it in me to be really good, but I need a same person to dance with long-term. I'm good at following a good lead and that's where I've learned most everything I know. I've taken very few formal lessons, just enough to get the basic and then I learn by dancing with men who know moves and turns they can teach me. But I'd like to take lessons as well as spend fun time practicing with my partner.

I danced when I was young and would like to learn new dances.

New to Dallas/Ft Worth area from East Coast. Looking for Argentine Tango practica and partner (s). I am still at Advanced Beginner level, and hopelessly determined to move on. Male or female partners welcome, as I would also like to learn to leading skills, do that I may be a better follower. However I would ultimately prefer to find a strong lead to practice with regularly.

I'm looking for somebody who lives preferably in the Tampa/St Petersburg, FL area to enjoy dancing with - especially either ballroom, swing and/or Latin dancing. I have many years experience as a partner in many styles of dancing, have been a "trained dance partner" & also dated & danced with someone for several years who was an Olympic level swing & ballroom dancer & who had won multiple U.S. national dance competitions as well as 2 international ballroom competitions. My main goal is fun & exercise but I would not be adverse to competition level dancing if I ever found a male partner who was skillful & interested in competing.

I love Ballroom Dancing and would like a suitable female partner to share my joy. I am honest and truthful in my dealings, and would expect my partner to be so also.

I’ve taken ballroom and salsa group classes and some west coast swing private’s . I would like to find a partner so that I could become a better dancer and hopefully a new friend and or more

I used to teach full time in a ballroom franchise and then managed a successful independent studio for a few years. I currently work independently and am in school for social work. I’ve been in the industry since March 2015 and mainly trained/competed in American Smooth. I am dedicated, ambitious, hardworking, and LIVE to compete and perform and share my love of dance. While in the past my focus was entirely competitive, I now want take more time to really enjoy every aspect of dancing, and would love to find a partnership that strikes that balance. I have a background in music and theatre, and love storytelling through dance. I've also worked as a professional seamstress and hairstylist, so I got skills.

I'm a ballroom dance teacher and dancer.

Always improve my knowledge in ballroom dancing through reading books, watching lectures and instructional videos. Always trying to understand the principles

Love to go out to live music events or just going out to the club to dance. Not a “pro” dancer but I play music and come from a Latin background, so I like to think music’s in my blood!

I thoroughly enjoy dancing as a really fun activity; often, more physically beneficial than working out at the gym. Also, I look forward to watching DWTS every season to escape the everyday challenges of work, chores, and mentally demanding minutia. We owe it to ourselves to have fun and find people who share similar interests. So let's dance, be happy, and enjoy life while we are healthy enough to do so. I find it richly rewarding that my beautiful dance partner and I are sharing wonderful times together, making new friends, new memories.

I consider myself a good dancer. I work out regularly & very energetic. I have a wonderful sense of humor. I'm a good listener. Very hard working. Dancing is my passion & can't imagine life without dancing. I am prompt with my appointments. I am very caring person. Besides dancing, I like to hike, watch movies, or just relax. I do like to eat too.

I dance ballroom, new vogue, and Latin to gold standard. Im passionate about music and dancing

dancing the last 15 years

I am dancing currently for Romania where I managed to class 3 rd in the National Ten Dance Championship.

I fell in love with tango, and dancing in general, when my world travels brought me to Argentina in 2012. Ever since I have sought out opportunities to dance at every opportunity, later learning Salsa and Bachata. I have recently decided I want to dedicate myself to dancing as I continue to travel the wold. My primary interest is in tango dancing, however I also want to explore salsa, bachata, zouk, chacarera (Argentine folk dance) and anything else which seems interesting.

I learn very fast, I love improvisation, I am a good leader and I am always dedicated to improving. I am primarily interested in social dancing, however I would love to perform someday and have also considered teaching in order to share my love of dancing as I travel the world.

I lost my wife in 2006, and prior to 2007 had not danced beyond hug and rock.

Started private and group lessons in 2007 and have been dancing 3 to 5 hours a week ever since.

Salsa is my favorite dance, followed by the Rumba and Waltz.

I've been learning various American style ballroom dances for about a year and half, and have been doing Latin social dances off and on for about a year, and kizomba for a number of months. Lately, I've been focusing on becoming more proficient in kizomba, bachata, salsa, and Argentine tango, but I would like a partner who also has an interest in American smooth and rhythm.

I have a background in most of the classical styles...ballet, jazz, hip-hop and modern. In my senior year in HS I found my love for partner dancing. I have experience in both American and International styles. I have certifications through DVIDA. My main coaches have been Olga Forapanova, Maria Hansen, Toni Redpath,and Slavek and Marzena.

Carolina shag dancing since a teenager

I started dancing (ballroom) 3 months ago and I love it.

I have just started salsa and I would like to meet someone who is willing to show me the steps and help me to improve.

I really enjoy the move and the feeling when dancing it.
